As expected a little windier today and it was windward leeward courses with 1.4 or 1.2 nm beat. We did just 2 races, not the 3 proposed. Today we only had average starts a boat length behind the line. We did fly the assymetric on the downwind legs and could take distance out of a few boats in front. The gybes with assymetric are a little full on with just 3 crew especially when needed to happen in the gusts.
On one Gybe Emma got clouted by a block, we never knew until finish of 2nd race when she did not look too good. Apparently had happened at end of beat before the run and during one manouevre she tactically threw up and carried on. I would say top crew, no complaints at any time did. Will our crew for Antigua week be as good and committed.

Party and prize giving this evening.

Staright after racing when docked went and cleared customs and paid bridge fees, we are now able to leave for St Lucia tomorrow hopefully getting the 1030 bridge opening.
